Lesson 0
Coronavirus - 5 point essential Business Toolkit


Coronavirus has totally changed the business landscape, training and development methods and the way we work together.

People are now stuck at home or alone in their offices. They are not going on courses. Trainers are not going into companies to work because staff are no longer there or allowed to come together.

Coronavirus has ironically given us time for personal development but we just haven’t worked out the right methodology to use this time well to support and help each other.

Online courses are ok but are not enough in our current situation. We need human interaction not more screens giving us information. We need real human relationships that help us through whatever this thing turns out to be.

So what should WE do? As leaders, trainers and business people what can we bring to help this situation? What’s our personal plan?


1. Reach out!
For those who offer products, courses and services online, now is the time to sharpen up your blended learning approach. Add bespoke personal interaction by Zoom, Skype or phone!  Actually talk  with people!!


2. Stop trying to sell stuff!
This is not the time for that. Don’t go with the tired old model of webinars that build up to the 'big sell' at the end! This is the time for developing new relationships by supporting people who are lonely, worried or need help - and building real relationships. Throw something really useful out there!   Build something sustainable! People will  invest in you if you invest in them.....


3. Give away your stuff for free!
Yep, dig out (harvest) the very best you have. You’ll build something incredibly valuable, unexpected and new. Now is the time to differentiate yourself.


4. Create ‘tiny teams’!
Surprise someone every day. Be the bearer of good news! Encourage others. Offer to help. Look for new ways to work together - on something that really matters.


5. Reflect and be grateful.
Remember that 25,000 people die every day from hunger and they are never mentioned in the news. You are in the top 1% of the richest people on Earth.


Coronavirus is a wake up call for us to be real and to true to ourselves. Whatever is happening, we can help each other to work it out together.

Create your Coronavirus 5 point business plan

This is an amazing opportunity to reposition all that you do. Be brave, adventurous,  creative and  kind...


Who will you reach out to?
What could you share that could encourage or help others? 

Who do you know who may be struggling? 
What  product or service can you re-purpose,  re-discover or create? 
Who is on your first  'Tiny Team'?

Now list the 5 little things that you will do every day......
